Barack Obama's counter-terrorism adviser said the parcel bombs had been made by the same person as the device worn by the so-called "underpants bomber" who botched an attack over Detroit on Christmas Day 2009.

"I think that the indications are right now based on forensic analysis that the individual responsible for putting these devices together is the same," John Brennan told ABC's "This Week" programme.
